| CECILIA BEAUX 1855 (605 words) |
 | Considered by many to be the finest woman painter active in America at the turn of the century, Beaux was not only technically masterful in her rich, vigorous manipulation of paint and her subtle orchestration of color, but also as a keen observer and an innovative designer. |
| Between 1888 and 1889, Beaux traveled to Europe where she studied at the Acad6mie Julian and the Colarrosi Academie under Bouguereau, Fleury, Dagnan-Bouveret, and Courtois, as well as privately with Benjamin Constant. |
| Beaux's rich use of buttery strokes and exquisitely fine-tuned orchestration of whites and fls reveal her respect for the preeminent portrait painter of her day, John Singer Sargent. |
